Rotary Club of York
What is Rotary?
Rotarians in the British Isles are members of Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland (RIBI) which has over 55,000 members in 1,855 clubs, and all Rotarians worldwide are Members of Rotary International, the world's first and one of the largest service organisations with a membership of 1.2 million in 200 countries.
Each member enjoys business as well as social networking opportunities, whilst giving something back to those less fortunate, learning new skills and having a huge amount of fun!
Each Club runs its own programme of social and fellowship activities which may include visits to places of interest, dinners, listening to informative or entertaining speakers.
Rotary runs countless humanitarian projects both locally, nationally and internationally, and also partners with many charities worldwide.
Rotarians organise community projects that address many of today's most critical issues, such as violence, drug abuse, health, hunger, the environment, and illiteracy. Rotary clubs determine service projects based on local needs.
They work for, and with, young people to address challenges facing the youth of today. Interact and Rotaract are also part of the Rotary family, with a similar club structure specifically for young people aged 14-18 and 18-30 respectively.
Rotary members are enthusiastic, fun-loving and active volunteers who give their time and talents to serve communities both at home and overseas.
They are dedicated people, men and women from business and professions, who share a common interest in helping others, whilst enjoying the fellowship of Club Members and other Rotarians.
Through the largest campaign ever undertaken, Rotarians are enthusiastically committed to the drive to wipe out polio from the world.
Since Rotary became involved in polio eradication in 1985, the number of reported polio cases has fallen from 350,000 a year to 1,000; 125 endemic countries have been reduced to just 4 - Afghanistan, India, Nigeria and Pakistan; and two billion children have been protected from the disease.
